Analytical Description of Dc Motor with Determination of Rotor Damping Consta...theijes
DC motor as an electric machine have been applied in numerous control systems. However, a critical parameter of interest that must be evaluated in designing a DC motor based system is the damping constant of the rotor. This paper analytically examines how to determine the damping constant of the rotor of a 12V DC motor, with the determination based on the following parameters: Armature resistance (Ra), inductance (La), Capacitance, the Stall current and the Angular rate of excitation of the motor with varying armature excitation of the current. These parameters help to ascertain the maximum and the minimum operating limit of the motor so as not to exceed the boundary-operating limits of the 12V motor. Experiments were performed in the laboratory and at the end of the analysis, the result shows that the value of damping constant of a 12V DC motor was -3.317 10-4 N-m-sec 2 . This parameter can be factored in future control system designs.

The frequency of a system is dependent on active power balance
As frequency is a common factor throughout the system, a change in active power demand at one point is reflected throughout the system
Because there are many generators supplying power into the system, some means must be provided to allocate change in demand to the generators
speed governor on each generating unit provides primary speed control function
supplementary control originating at a central control center allocates generation
In an interconnected system, with two or more independently controlled areas, the generation within each area has to be controlled so as to maintain scheduled power interchange
The control of generation and frequency is commonly known as load frequency control (LFC) or automatic generation control (AGC)
This Power Point Presentation includes Automatic Generation control :
Learning Objective: To illustrate the automatic frequency and voltage control strategies for single and two
area case and analyze the effects, knowing the necessity of generation control.

Basically, the direct torque control (DTC) drive system is operated at light load. At light load, supplying the drive system with rated flux will decrease the efficiency of the system. To maximize the efficiency of drive system, an optimal flux has been applied during steady-state but when a torque is suddenly needed, for example during acceleration, the dynamic of the torque response would be degraded. Therefore, a modification to the voltage vector as well as look-up table has been proposed for the torque response improvement. The proposed voltage vector is generated by adding two adjacent conventional voltage vectors and implemented by using duty ratio. The duty ratio is used to estimate the activation time of each conventional voltage vector in order to produce the proposed voltage vector.

The objective of this study is to understand and to make the comparison between Sliding mode Control technique and the Flux Oriented Control in order to control the Doubly Fed Induction Generator powers exchanged with the grid, it also aims at maintaining the DC-BUS voltage constant and a unit power factor at the grid connection point.The results of simulation show the performance of the Sliding mode Control in terms of monitoring, and robustness with regard to the parametric variations, compared to the Flux Oriented Control. The performance of the systems was tested and compared with the use of MATLAB/Simulink software.

Detection of Gear Fault Using Vibration AnalysisIJRES Journal
To achieve reliable and cost effective diagnosis, Motor current signature analysis is used to investigate the use of an induction motor as a transducer to indicate the faults in multistage gearbox via analyzing supply parameters such as phase current and instantaneous power. In gearboxes, load fluctuations on the gearbox and gear defects are two major sources of vibration. Further at times, measurement of vibration in the gearbox is not easy because of the inaccessibility in mounting the vibration transducers. This analysis system can be used for measuring the characteristics for a perfectly working gearbox and use the data as a standard for measuring faults and defects in other gearboxes. The objective of this paper is to design and diagnose fault in the gearbox using motor current analysis system at different gear operations on different loads. Steady load conditions on the gearbox are tested for current signatures during different gear operations. Also found the minimum power required to run on different gears and gear ratio. The motor current analysis system can be used further to specify mainly faults in the gear, misalignment of meshed gears, loss of contact of the gears and bearing wear.
Economic Selection of Generators for a Wind Farmijeei-iaes
The selection suitable generator for wind turbines will be done based on technical criteria and priorities of the project. In this paper, a method for determining the type of wind turbine generator with an example is explained. In the paper, for a 10kW wind turbine, two generators have been proposed. The first case is a squirrel-cage asynchronous generator coupled to the turbine through the gearbox and directly connected to three phase output. Other PM generators that are directly coupled to the turbine and it is connected to the grid using the inverter. The results show that according to wind conditions, a 10kW permanent magnet generator is more advantageous in terms of energy production.

Thermo coupled stress analysis of exhaust manifold assemblage using abaqusINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Comprehension of the basic conduct in the beginning period of outline can help to lessen the quantity of virtual models and the time taken for their assessment. For an engine development program, the engine exhaust manifold system is a mind boggling framework subjected to thermo mechanical burdens. The investigation of such a framework is discriminating because of the many-sided quality of meeting the basic and stream prerequisites. In this paper the Thermal Stress Index (TSI) is created for down to earth reason. Especially the TSI is appeared to be extremely powerful in discovering an ideal shape with imperatives in outline of the exhaust manifold system. Therefore, the objective for discovering an ideal state of the exhaust manifold system is to minimize the TSI, and philosophy received to address a failure of an Exhaust complex amid physical testing on an engine test bed. A non-linear thermo-auxiliary quality investigation of the exhaust manifold system gathering of the four cylinder four stroke engine is done. The FE model comprises of the exhaust manifold system get together, head and mounting bolts. The contact interaction between the parts is likewise modeled. The assembly is subjected to bolt preloads, for reproducing the mechanical assembly. The thermal loads utilized as a part of the reenactment are computed through CFD (Input). The model considers a temperature reliance of a heat exchange coefficient on wall temperature in cooling sections. For the structural analysis temperature subordinate non-linear material properties and contact non-linearity is considered.

Rack And Pinion Mechanism for Continuous Variable Valve Timing of IC EnginesIJERA Editor
The valve timing is a very closely studied event and effects the performance of an IC Engine greatly with
respect to the Brake Power Produced, Volumetric Efficiency and Emissions etc. The valve event if varied and
experimented with, can result in higher efficiencies and overall improved performance of the Engine. Hence,
various researchers have attempted to temper with the valve timing and thus many Variable Valve Timing
systems have been proposed till date with many of them being implemented by various manufacturers.
However, on reviewing the presently employed systems, the lack of existence of a single system capable of
independently altering both the timing and the lift of the valves was recognized. Thus, a single system capable
of achieving the above was thought of and designed. A rack and pinion mechanism powered by a programmed
servo motor mounted vertically seemed most practical in achieving this within the size and space constraints. A
single cylinder diesel Engine was simulated with „Lotus Engine Simulation‟ software to derive the optimum
valve angles and lifts for a range of the Engine operating speed and the system was accordingly programmed
and designed to achieve them. The system was designed in „Creo‟ software and analysed correspondingly in
„Ansys‟ software and then finally assembled on a Diesel Engine in the lab.
